One soft ball, rolled back and forth

From the back cover

Oh! A ball! Panda has a soft, round ball, with one big paw on top. Little Luna sits very still, but Luna’s tail will not keep still. Up goes Panda’s big paw. “Roll, roll, roll.” Luna rolls the ball back. Panda, Luna, Panda, Luna! Back and forth it goes, until two friends yawn.

About this book

This story keeps sharing to one ball and two friends, and lets the game do the talking: Luna gets a turn, and then the ball comes back to Panda.

It is short enough to read twice in a row, and easy to act out afterward with any ball in the house. Ask whose turn it is now, and roll.
